Benefits of technology

[0005]In accordance with the foregoing, a method and system for modifying an image on a web page is provided. According to the method and system, an editing program establishes communication with a remote computer using an Internet protocol, downloads a web page containing one or more imported images and displays the web page on a user interface. As the user moves a cursor over an imported image, its appearance may change. The user may select an imported image to edit directly from the displayed web page. In response to the user selecting an image, the editing program opens the image and allows the user to modify the image in an editing interface. The image may then be saved back to its original location according to write access privileges.

Problems solved by technology

These programs do not, however, allow the user to select an imported image directly from the web page and open it for editing.
Current graphics programs, however, are also limited in the sense that they are not capable of communicating using any of the popular networking and transport protocols (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Internet protocols”) such as those found in the various implementations of TCP / IP stacks.
Therefore, these graphics programs can only work with image files that are stored locally.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Turning to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements, an exemplary environment for implementing the invention is shown in FIG. 1. The environment includes a general purpose-computing device 20, including a central processing unit 21, a system memory 22, and a system bus 23 that couples various system components including the system memory to the processing unit 21. The system bus 23 may be any of several types of bus structures including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input / output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computing device 20, such as during start-up, is stored in the ROM 24. The computing device 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk 60, a magnet...

Abstract

An editing program establishes communication with a remote computer using an Internet protocol, downloads a web page containing one or more imported images and displays the web page on a user interface. As the user moves a cursor over an imported image, its appearance may change. The user may select an imported image to edit directly from the displayed web page. In response to the user selecting an image, the editing program presents the image in an editing interface for modification by the user. The image may then be saved back to its original location according to write access permissions.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates generally to image editing and, more particularly, to a method and system for modifying an image on a web page.BACKGROUND[0002]The appearance of a web page is defined in document written in a particular type of source code called a “markup language.” Examples of markup languages include hypertext markup language (HTML) and extended markup language (XML). A markup language has commands and data structures that define the arrangement and content of the web page in a way that is understandable to a web browser. If a digitized photo, spreadsheet or other imported image is to be displayed in the web page, the definition of the image is typically stored in one or more source files outside of the markup language document. To allow a web browser to retrieve and display imported images, the web page may include a reference to the source file or files, such as a pointer or filename.[0003]There are many commercially available web publishing programs ...
